Situated in a south westerly sloping field this site offers a wee poser. There are multiple stone cairns holding claim to at least half the field. Now it may be that they are all clearance cairns that have remained unattended to for decades? However, when examined closely some resemble funerary cairns, similar in size and shape to identified cairns, occasionally with hollowed centres? Not that convincing perhaps, but when you consider that there are fields in Gwynedd where funerary cairns lie surrounded by clearance cairns, and add to that the numerous recorded cairns that lie locally, in all directions and in close proximity to this field it does beg the question 'were/are some of these funerary cairns?'
